It's a slow news day...so what's going on in your corner of the world?

Yes, very slow news day, Georgia. So what's going on? Well, in the state you either live in or share the name of, two Muslim extremists -- or, should I say, Terrorist-Americans -- are named as co-conspirators with the Toronto megabombers.

Nothing at Jesus' General... though he does think he's pretty funny for showing American kids at a gun range, with a caption saying "GOOD," and Palestinian kids parading with guns, with a caption saying "BAD." Apparently it is lost on him that the American kids shoot at targets, whereas the Palestinian kids (who are younger) shoot at human beings.

Oh, and blow themselves up in pizzarias.

Nothing on Andrew Sullivan. He talks about -- yes, wait for it! -- Haditha and the other alleged "massacres," and also about how much spiritual support disco-pop-synth band Pet Shop Boys have provided him.

Otherwise-- radio silence.

IS ANY LEFT WING BLOGGER COMMENTING ON THIS STORY AT ALL?

Or is it too dangerous to alienate readers by presenting discomfiting facts?

Why, one would almost imagine that a victory in the War on Terror is unwelcome news to them. It's almos as if it's... bad news for them or something.

One could almost venture to postulate, even, that their political and personal interests are precisely aligned with the terrorists'.

I'm not cherry picking here, folks. I'm just typing in whatever blog name I can think of, and running down the Truth Laid Bear ecosystem rankings. Apart from the one mention of the story (along with three others) in an open thread on DailyKos, NOT ONE LEFT-WING BLOG I'VE SAMPLED SO FAR HAS LOWERED ITSELF TO MENTION THE STORY.

I'll give the DUmmies and that stupid Canadian bint something -- at least they actually dared to link the story.

But nope. The news that thousands of innocent people had been spared the devastation of a terrorist attack was simply too dispiriting for The Political Animal to type out. (PS, Kevin Drum has a guest blogger today, so he's off the hook... I guess. UPDATE: Actually, he posted at 1:00 AM last night, taking a break from his vacation, as he says, to whine about a Bush nominee. So it seems he could have posted on this, if it weren't all so horrible to contemplate.)

It's True: From The Machine--

Well, the good news is that we've finally found what it takes to make most moonbats stop talking...

Then again, we've known that for some time. They tend to suddenly get quiet as churchmice when we, say, capture Baghdad or Saddam Hussein.
